WILFREI) GAUDET, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

- s. PA'rn MAGIC PENCIL.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILFRED GAUDET, a subject of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Magic Pencils, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices suitable to create amusement and may be used as an advertising medium, or other suitable purposes.

The object of my invention is to produce a device which has the appearance of a pencil or other well known article, which when operatedin ordinary manner, or as directed, will suddenly fall apart, thereby creating surprise and amusement.

A further object is to provide a device which may be used as an object of surprise and amusement, and adapt itself readily to convey advertisements of other articles, or any other novel and useful purpose which a device of suchnature may be adapted to.

To attain these objects I have constructed the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the magic pencil. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on the hne 22, of Fig. 1 showing the interior.

construction of said magic pencil. Fig. 3

shows that part of the mechanism which releases the various parts from each other.

Referring to Fig. 2, acylindrical shell 1 of suitable size and form, having adapted to fit within one end thereof an imitation pencil or lead holder 2, and at the other end an imitation pencil propeller 3, the whole to have the external appearance of areal pencil of the tyne in which the lead pencil is propelled out of a protecting holder when same is to be used. 7

One end of spring 4 is attached to aninterior cavity 5 of the pencil holder 2 by a rivet 6. The other end of the spring is attached to a plug 7 of suitable shape and material, part of which extends within the coils of said spring and the projecting end thereof has attached thereto an extension wire 8, having a loop 9, on the end thereof into which engages the hook 10, of a bent plate 11, which is securely attached to the Specification of Lettezgs Patent.

imitation pencilpropeller 3, by the pin 12. A shoulder 13, is formed on the'pencil propeller 3, to limit the amount same may enter into the cylindrical shell 1. 'A similar Patented Nov. 2, 1915.

Application filed April 30, 1915. Serial No. 25,079. 1 v

shoulder 14 is provided foron the pencil holder 2 for the same purpose.-

In operation, the pencil is given to an. unsuspecting person to use who will proceed according to instruction or voluntarily to turn the pencil propeller3, which operation I will disengage the hook 10 from the loop 9, causing the plug which is preferably made of heavy material, to throw the pencil holder, by its impact from the cylindrical.

shell 1 and permitting said shell to fall from the pencil propeller 3, thereby creating surprise and amusement.

7 Having thus described my invention what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1 1. A magic pencil having the external appearance of a real pencil of the type in which the lead pencil is propelled out of a protecting holder when same is to be used, and having at one end a pencil or lead holder adapted to be connected by a spring or the like toa pencil propeller at the other end, means for releasing said spring from the pencil propeller and means for'causing an impact to the pencil'holder for the purpose of separating the various integral parts of which the magicpencil is composed, and

to create surprise and amusement.

2- Ina magic pencil a cylindrical shell adapted to receivea pencil holder at one end, and a pencil propeller at the other end, one end of aspring attached to said pencil holder by means of a rivet or the like, and

the other end of said spring being attached to a plug of heavy material and adapted to create and give an impact to the pencil ;holder, in combination withmeans for releasing said spring from connection to a pencil propeller, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto attach my hand in the presence of the two sub scribing witnesses.

, WILFRED GAUDET.
